About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To be the best father that shows our children how the world is all connected and deserves a chance to be viewed and explored with wide open mind and positive eyes.

ABOUT ME

Originally from Belgium, but I consider myself a global citizen. The more I travel, the more I realize people are the same, regardless of their differences.

PHILOSOPHY

I do not see things the way they are, I see them the way I am.
